The pen is mightier than the sword - there is no doubt. But the question of bringing peace back is not dependent solely on the pen. #TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books https://t.co/omBLI9NZMA

[ALTAP says.... @ShaikhAltapM]

#TOIAskSudha Do you think, in this world, a pen is still mightier the sword? Can our writings bring the peace back on the land?

[TOI Write India @TOIWriteIndia]

As long as the core of the story is applicable to real life, the story itself can be a fairy tale or anything else. It's all about the magic of weaving the story. #TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books https://t.co/CGWW0ZlSmK

@TOI_Books @TOIWriteIndia @VinitaNangia #TOIAskSudha Hello Mam , can the story be a fairy tale ? ( satisfying all other conditions ) Thank you.

[TOI Write India @TOIWriteIndia]

I don't think I will ever do a 100% romance novel but a shade of romance is there in all my fiction work. #TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books https://t.co/K4coqkcW1D

[Nithya Sashi @writernithya]

#TOIAskSudha Hi mam, am a great fan. Have you thought of writing a romance novel? :)

[TOI Write India @TOIWriteIndia]

Pen it down in your own words. At first, it may be difficult but it will happen more easily in time. After you have written the content, wait for some time to pass and read it again without bias.#TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books https://t.co/18KnEdgdjM

@TOI_Books @TOIWriteIndia @VinitaNangia I have a lot of ideas crowding my mind that demand to be heard but often can't express.What do I do? #TOIAskSudha @TOI_Books @TOIWriteIndia

[TOI Write India @TOIWriteIndia]

The last book I read was 'My name is Gauhar Jaan' by Vikram Sampath. It is a well-written and well-researched book. #TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books https://t.co/62QZZtVnO6

[Rashmi @Rashmi_joshi2]

Which was the last book you read? What is your take on that? #TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia

[TOI Write India @TOIWriteIndia]

Reading itself is at a new high. The form, however, has changed considerably and so has the format. Now there are devices to allow easy reading, influence of social media, related articles, and such. #TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books https://t.co/jkirnf4BXx

[TOI Write India @TOIWriteIndia]

These days, self-help books are in greater demand than novels. Non-fiction has also become quite popular, I feel, along with children's literature. #TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books https://t.co/H7JslFqUxM

[Vinay Kumar @Vinay_Physics]

@TOI_Books #TOIAskSudha, What genres of books do you think find most connect with Indian audience?

[TOI Write India @TOIWriteIndia]

Generosity of a few is the hope for milliions. I saw this quote in a hospital in USA and really liked it. #TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books https://t.co/VEc7q1RjG8

[n @nanjani_gandhi]

Is there any quote, any particular line that you wish you had written? #TOIWriteIndia #TOIAskSudha @TOI_Books

[TOI Write India @TOIWriteIndia]

When I was young, Chandamama influenced me to a great extent. Children themselves inspire me to write for them. #TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books https://t.co/hAbaLsImoK

[Smita Mishra @smita_mishra]

Who is your favourite Children's author? What inspired you to write for kids?#TOIAskSudha @TOI_Books

[TOI Write India @TOIWriteIndia]

Yes, it has had a great influence especially in my children's writings. #TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books https://t.co/ycIqpxvya2

[Navya Anand @Navyanand]

Your stories reflect a happy childhood. Has that been your inspiration behind writing? @TOI_Books #TOIAskSudha

[TOI Write India @TOIWriteIndia]

Over a period of time, I have learnt to tell people upfront about the utility value of the donated items. Today, I do not accept unusable items.#TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books https://t.co/dadvQYktOF

[TOI Write India @TOIWriteIndia]

Early mornings. #TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books https://t.co/5wrP2gAZhj

[TOI Write India @TOIWriteIndia]

Preferably both, but it depends on the storyline. #TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books https://t.co/hyrI9Z1AWN

[TOI Write India @TOIWriteIndia]

No, it does not limit your imagination. Think positive - it has proven to have long term benefits.#TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books https://t.co/AJ7iKy72bC

[Deeksha Sarin @DeekshaSarin]

Your #TOIWriteIndia rules talk about writing a positive story. Do you feel it will limit imagination? #TOIaskSudha

[TOI Write India @TOIWriteIndia]

I enjoy both equally. #TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books https://t.co/M0K08igVzg

[Pratishtha Tiwari @PratishthaTiwa3]

What do you enjoy more, writing for kids or writing for adults? #TOIAskSudha @TOI_Books

[TOI Write India @TOIWriteIndia]

Go for a walk and during this time, think about the story in your mind. It is a physical and mental exercise. Once you get into the routine, you will find focus. Remember that we may lose the battle but we will win the war.#TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books https://t.co/dN0rpqbbbw

[Kanu Sharma @KanuSharma1910]

#TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books I stopped writing few years back due to depression and now suffering a setback in getting back to the writing routine? How can I resume the writing goals again?

[TOI Write India @TOIWriteIndia]

It is individual to each book and depends on the storyline - from a minimum to 5 days to 45 days.#TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books https://t.co/ccHxPeko5k

[npshah @npshah4]

#TOIAskSudha Maam how much time does it take you to complete your books

[TOI Write India @TOIWriteIndia]

Like a mother loves all her children, all my books are very dear to me. House of Cards is a complex book and took almost 15 years to write and it holds a special place in my heart.#TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books https://t.co/Kd0nNFkBfd
